Flights to Buisson, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur from NT$20,073

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Buisson. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Buisson a breeze. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
